| Sumario: | Men of Bronze takes up one of the most important and fiercely debated subjects in ancient history and classics: how did archaic Greek hoplites fight, and what role, if any, did hoplite warfare play in shaping the Greek polis?

Throughout the twentieth century scholars developed and refined this grand hoplite narrative with the help of archaeology. |
